Wee Surfers Wednesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Here (#1) we have Daisy Mae working on her five toes over the nose move.  She will be on the 2036 Redondo team and be the star goofy-foot longboarder.  It's a long way to the nose when you're not quite two feet tall...

Fog rolled in early this morning with some light onshore wind.  The air was a damp 51.4º and the water is 57.4º.  High tide was at 5:48am +4.2' and low tide will be at 12":53pm +0.1'.  There's a lot of south in this swell out of 200º SSW at 3.9'.  With the tide it formed up to about 3' breaking on those new outside sandbars.  If you got stuck in the middle you sat there contemplating your navel...

Gotta hand it to the Costa team this morning as they beat Redondo 83 to 64.  Redondo did manage to snag a couple of firsts with Tyler Anderson early in the contest and Shane Murphy in Men's Longboard.  Dylan Morrisroe was the sole 2nd place recipient and there were five thirds:  Jackson Owens, Keani Honda-Snow, Bridget Swift, Billy Galin and Jake Kislinger.  The contest was closer than the score indicated and the surf wasn't helpful, but Costa won with some great waves all the way to the sand...

Teach A Fish To Fly Friday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... Wouldn't it be nice to have some surf to report about?  The simple answer is "yes."  But, and it's a big BUT, we're going to forge ahead and give you the particulars anyway.  5 miles visibility and pretty hazy conditions although it looks like the sun is trying to melt the haze.  Winds were offshore by 1 to 3kts. and the sea surface is smooth.  The air temp was 64.5º and the water is 65.8º.  High tide is at 10:14am +5.6' and low tide follows at 4:55pm +0.6' (Maybe good for a walk on the hard sand.  Don't step on a bee.  Been lots of them on the shallow sand.)  SSW swell out of 206º at 2.3' and it was half of that on the beach.  Just to whet your appetite we've included this shot of the Professor in Nicaragua at "Soupbowls", or "Chicken Soup", or "Noodles".  They were all lefts... Some of you know that the Professor has sparred with some health issues recently.  He submitted this (Attachment) t

We Came On Different Ships, But We're All In The Same Boat Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... F ound these cool sweatshirts (#1) at Spyder on the Plaza.  They show all of the cool South Bay surf spots and wave magnets.  We managed to get these cool women to show off the threads... H eavy overcast and not quite 7 miles visibility.  Winds were onshore by 2 to 4kts and the surface was generously textured.  The air was 58.5º and the water is 58.5º.  Overcast, windy and chilly, this isn't sounding great is it?  Low tide is at 11:46am +0.6' and high tide follows late at 6:44pm +4.3'.  It's a SSW swell out of 212º at 2.3' and that's about how big it was with a few fatter outsides. F or those of you who knew Brian Sullivan his funeral will be held at St. Lawrence Church at 1pm on Saturday.  Still can't quite believe he's gone... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!
